Shibijinja Shrine, located in Satsuma, Kagoshima, is a small, historically significant shrine founded approximately 1500 years ago by Koukaku Shonin. The shrine is known for housing three mirrors as its sacred objects, which were reportedly donated by Minamoto no Sanetomo of the Kamakura shogunate. Notably, the source of the Shiibionsen hot spring, known as "God's Hot Spring," originates beneath the shrine's main hall. Visitors can explore the grounds and enjoy the serene atmosphere, with parking available shared with the nearby Shiibionsen facilities. It's a great spot to appreciate local history and relax after enjoying the hot spring.
